Reply #157: Of course I care about Bush's lies [View All]

But his lies on the war and Abu Ghraib are far more important to me that whatever may have been in his jacket. To imagine that a scientist speculating about this would have changed the outcome of the election is an exercise in self delusion.
The Democrats lost the election to the worst president in American history and we lost seats in both houses. Do you consider that a victory? My point is that if Democrats refuse to take responsibility for this electoral loss by projecting it onto outside forces, we will never regain power. Is winning back a Democratic majority something you care about? If so, we need to work for it. We need to address problems in the party, improve our organization, and focus on what our key principles are. Everyone seems to want to find excuses to sit back and do nothing, and I'm sick of it. The Republicans win because they want it more and are willing to work for it. They began organizing four years before the election. Kerry began his ground operations in Fla two months in advance and I imagine it was similar in other states, except of course those where he conceded the election before it began. If that pattern continues, we will not be able to win.
